“Think of marriage as a three-legged stool. The legs are a submissive wife, a loving husband, and Christ. All three legs must be in place for marriage to work as God intended. A wife submitting to an unloving husband is as lopsided as a loving husband sacrificing for a domineering wife.”

Really Obama? I know you can’t agree with everyone, but really??? This is how you want to set the tone of your presidency?

It’s a shrewd political move, aimed at bringing some of the Evangelical right back into the fold. It’s especially a good move considering (1) he’s already associated positively with Obama in those circles due to the debate/Q&A session he had with Obama and McCain early in the race and (2) Obama’s earlier pastor said some interesting things about America that most people found to be offensive in one regard or another.

Rick Warren gave his congregation a list of 5 things that should determine their vote in the presidential election. Obama stands counter to two of those positions, and probably will prove to be amenable to, or at least not opposed to, gay marriage. He’s a guy you’d never expect to swear in a man like Obama.

I ardently oppose many of Warren’s views on things like homosexuality, stem cell research and abortion, but he is also an advocate in the campaigns against HIV/AIDS, poverty, and literacy. His advocacy stems from his faith, and I can respect the results even if I have little affinity for the source.

I think Warren is an interesting, and probably a good choice. Having him swear in the new president is an act of reconciliation and demonstrates Obama’s willingness to work with people of significantly different personal and political beliefs.

Let’s see where it goes before we jump on the reactionary outrage bandwagon.

When Obama invited this “christian” to his speak at his inauguration, he invited a man who believes the Q-community are INFERIOR; “less than”. Let’s quit sugar-coating these turds! Being asked to “respect other’s opinions” doesn’t fly when those “opinions” are harmful lies about an entire segment of the population. Those “opinions” are tantamount to the extremely offensive beliefs and ideas our country once had about “negros” and “wives”, words and ideas that would NEVER FLY TODAY at an inauguration.

Words and ideas that would incite riots today.

When Rick “defined” our entire Q-community, it became clear that HE was the one suffering from immaturity, since he clearly limits his entire WORLD VIEW of homo-lovin-ality to 20-something, single and horned-up gay men.
